Keep them wagons rolling

Life rolls on here in Lehi, and we're doing crazy, awesome things. Being cool and incredible and all that. Speaking of rolling, guess who achieved that milestone today? That's right, we have a mobile baby. Sort of. Kimberly rolled over twice in quick succession and then refused to repeat the performance in front of her father, probably because she loves me more than Jessie. She was pretty pleased with herself. Madeline wasn't so pleased. Mostly because she enjoys being Kimberly's only means of movement and has been practicing rolling her over with efficiency and style. If Kimberly goes from rolling to crawling more quickly than her sister, it will be out of self preservation to escape Madeline's helpful overtures.

And speaking of Madeline, she continues to crack us up and provide most of the house's entertainment. We read scriptures in the morning before Jessie goes to work, which is a great idea, because I can pretend my closed eyes are a result of meditation. Madeline never really joins us, preferring to eat cereal or drive cars, and I was pretty sure she never heard a word. So you can imagine my surprise when she grabbed the scriptures after we were done yesterday and opened them up. This is how Madeline reads the scriptures: "And it came to pass that Daddy had Family Home Evening. In the name of Christ, Amen. And it came to pass." So I guess something is soaking in. Even if it's just a fancy phrase to begin stories for her friends.
